Observations: Creek was flowing slowly, very clean around the edge of the creek banks. Water looked very clear. Took first sample from lower side of walk bridge but collected green algae due rocks so took second sample from high side of walk bridge. Coming down from the car park area several pieces of litter on the far side of creek bank - plastic drink bottles and small pieces of paper. The edge of the creek was covered in very lush grass. Rainfall: light showers
